Guides and articles on bookkeeping, payroll and association finances. Written for the people who handle these things alongside another job.
Payroll
The Incomes Register five-day rule
Wages are paid, and then there are five days. That is the basic rhythm of the Incomes Register, and it is tighter than most employers expect.
Payroll
When payroll is worth outsourcing
Payroll for one employee is easy to do yourself. The question is not whether you can, it is what happens in the week you are on holiday or snowed under.
Associations
Lay reviewer or authorised auditor
The Associations Act asks for the same thing either way: somebody outside the board looks through the accounts and the administration. What differs is who does it and how thoroughly.
Frequently asked
- Is this advice for my situation?
- No. These are guides to how the rules work. A question about your own association or company is worth asking us directly, and asking costs nothing.
- Are the older pieces still current?
- Each one carries its publication date, and we update them when rules or thresholds change. If you spot a figure that has gone stale, tell us and we will fix it.
- Where are the service announcements?
- In news. This page holds the guides and articles; anything about the service itself is published there.
Tell us what you need, and we will work out what it actually takes.
A free conversation, about 30 minutes: we go through document volumes, the number of people on the payroll and the services you need, and tell you the exact price. We do not charge for preparing a quote, and the conversation commits you to nothing.
